The Real Gods’ blessings and the Living waters…

Bless others and you will be blessed..

Forgive others and you will be forgiven…

Give and it will be given unto you…

Be merciful and you will receive mercy…

There is no end without a start?

You can’t see unless you open your eye..

Without knowing how we can be following ….

For this is the love of God that we keep His commandment..

And His commandments are not burdensome…1 John:5.3

Please spare some time for your own eternity…

This is the  Real picture of Gods’ blessing..

And the living water…

In the beginning……

God blessed them (Adam & his wife Eve) and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in the number; fill the earth and subdue it GEN:1-28

And….The LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;  but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

Then ..You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.  “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, good and evil.”

The woman was convinced, when the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

What happened and how was she convinced? In the earlier stage she had bitterness against God that she had a bad opinion on God and she perceived that God is a liar and further decided God is not their well wisher.

Yes, from the beginning, till date the serpent (Satan) depicts God as a bad person.

Many a times we convince the same picture and betray him. But, Satan always depicts God as a police Man, who punishes us when we are wrong. But, Jesus the living God, enter in to our life as a loving Father.

God never given command to his child which we cannot follow. We the good father may not be put a big stone on our own child head which they cannot manage. The Holy Spirit says’ that the Gods’ commands were not such difficult to follow. .

For this is the love of God that we keep His commandment..And His commandments are not burdensome…1 John:5.3

Then immediately Satan says’ no! no! It is very difficult to follow the Lord. Further He says, I myself could not follow the Lord for a long time, How would you? Whereby we are convinced and leave following the Lord and His commandments. God does not lose anything by we doing so, instead we lose our eternity and finally we will have to go to hell, no doubt in it.

This may be little long but, please take some time for mediate and we are sure it will be blessing for you

And you will be blessing others.

Why did God bless us?

When God blessed Abraham, He told him, “I will bless you and you will be a blessing. In you all the families of the earth will be blessed…” (Gen.12:3,4). The Bible says that the gift of the Holy Spirit is meant to bring to us “the blessing of Abraham” (Gal.3:14).

GOD Almighty says “I will bless you” and “You will be a blessing”. This will happen only when we are filled with the Holy Spirit. If it does not happen it obviously means to check if we really have Holy Spirit or not. We would have received once, but how about your situation today? Do you have the same Holy Spirit in you? However, in case of Saul, the first king of Israel was anointed by the Lord lost his anointing in his latter part of his life due to darkness of bitter water and he killed himself.

*We are living in the New Covenant, in the period of grace,

*When God blesses us it really means that we will be a blessing to other.

*Why do we ask God to bless us? If it is for our own then it is selfishness.

Be it we are seeking material blessing or spiritual blessing or any gift from GOD. The talent to Sing or preach is not given by God for our own use. Jesus had never used his Gift for His own purpose, instead He used it for the benefit of others.

*He did not convert stone to Bread for his own benefit; instead He converts two fishes and five breads for more than five thousand people to meet their hunger.

*Jesus was blessed and was a blessing to others.

We water the plant from its root, but, the water and the minerals from the root reaches to the branches too; this is how the real blessing from God will be in our lives too. We receive the blessings from God and nourish our soul. All the other earthly blessing is vanity, which will not last forever. The real blessing that we receive from God will last till the end of our days.

God doesn’t offer selfish person a place in His. During His life on earth Jesus had never prayed to the Lord for his own needs, instead He prayed for others. In Gethsemane, Jesus cried out to the Lord not because He was afraid of his death or suffering, but to strengthen His disciples for as they were very weak spiritually. His disciples were unable stay awake and pray with Jesus not even for an hour, in spite of Jesus requesting them to stay awake and pray. Our body is week but our spirit is strong. The Christ is strong enough but, the body of Christ the Church is weak. May the Lord give strength through His Valuable Grace!

Most believers seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit for their self blessing and not for the blessing of others. This is why there are so many counterfeit experiences of the Holy Spirit rampant in Christendom today.

Jesus said that the power of the Holy Spirit would make us His witnesses (“a blessing to others”, as He Himself was) to the uttermost parts of the earth (Acts 1:8). This is “the blessing of Abraham” who was told that “the entire world will be blessed because of you” (Gen.12:3-). Families living in the uttermost parts of the earth would be blessed through Abraham. And families living in the uttermost parts of the earth will be blessed through us, when we are filled with the Holy Spirit.

Rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

“You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, The Lord, am your God and there is none else. And my people shall never again be put to shame. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even upon the menservants and maidservants in those days, I will pour out My Spirit”

Joel 2:27-29)

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. “By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. (JOHN 7-38)

“Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13-

When Jesus taught His disciples to ask their heavenly Father for the Holy Spirit, He illustrated it with a parable (see Luke 11:5-13). He spoke of a man who went to his neighbor’s house and kept on knocking until he got the loaves of bread that he needed for feeding a visitor. The main point of the parable is persistence in asking for the Holy Spirit (as becomes clear in v.13). But we must also notice the fact that the man did not go to get bread for him, but for another. It was someone else’s need that drove him to his neighbor’s house. Once he had got the bread from his neighbor and had fed his visitor, I presume he must have gone to bed and not gone around “reporting” this good deed to others. I can’t imagine this man getting someone to take a photograph of him giving the bread to his visitor at midnight and then sending copies of the photograph to all his neighbors.

Yet many Christians do just that: They advertise the good they do, in order to impress people that they are serving God. Jesus told us that even our left hand should not know what our right hand does.

God wants to bless us – immensely. But He does not want us to become reservoirs or lakes. He wants us to be channels through which rivers of living water flow out to others (John.7:37-39). And He wants those rivers to flow secretly and quietly, for the glory of God alone.

Every gift of the Spirit mentioned in the New Testament epistles is meant to bless others (1 Cor.12; Rom.12; Eph.4). Even the gift of tongues that edifies us personally is given primarily so that we might always be spiritually fresh and in touch with God, so that we can serve others better.

Those who seek after personal blessing primarily whether physical health, material prosperity or emotional excitement – have not understood God’s purpose at all. These are only the crumbs that fall from His table. When Jesus told the Jews in the synagogue at Nazareth about His being anointed with the Spirit and the blessings that would flow out as a result, He mentioned, “preaching the gospel to the poor, healing the brokenhearted, delivering the oppressed, announcing freedom for the captives , sight for the blind and the blessings of God, to one and all” (Lk.4:18,19-Living). This is the New Testament given by the Lord. In the Old Testament it is very difficult to find it. Now a day’s people want’ to preaching the gospel to the Rich and move from village to city and move from City to capitals. Notice that every single result of the anointing was blessing to others. Peter’s word in Cornelius’ house agrees with this: “Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power and He went around doing well and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.” (Acts 10:38).Again we notice that the emphasis is on blessing to others.

Our calling as believers is to follow in Jesus’ footsteps – and He did not come to earth to be blessed Himself but to bless others.

When the blessing of the Lord comes upon our life and labors, we face many dangers.

When Lord Bless you if you are not blessing to other, then you are a cheater before the Lord eyes. Hence, God except from you that you will be bless to others. Keep in mind always dear.

Do you want to follow the above truthful and lead a blessed life just as Jesus lived? If so decide now. If you don’t decide, please don’t worry God never compels anyone, moreover He is almighty not an autocratic person. But, it is not a one day program. It is a lifelong program. To get a doctorate is not an easy job.  You have to go to school from KG-1 -5th standard Hr. secondary- college. But just decide before you start the program is the beginning and May the LORD HELP TO YOU to achieve and day by day you will be molded LIKE JESUS finally at the end of your life. May the Lord leads’ you…

The shine of living water  from  the word of Jesus…

Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury.  At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores.  As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores. Luck: 16:19

“Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and his soul went to the place of the dead there, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side.

Why it is happen .The rich man not care the poor Lazarus.  That’s’ all. Be a rich man is not a sin .If you don’t care is the sin before the eyes of God.

Here is the another rich Man illustrated by JESUS ( Luke:12.16)

“A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops.  He said to him, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods.  And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

“But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’  is the Gods’ word.

If the rich man decide to share his happiness with poor, then immediately God will be appreciated him like Zacchaeus repentance .He decide to give half to the poor is the real repentance!

Oh! My Lord please forgives me all i committed in my past; telling something is not repentance you should act immediately otherwise it is meaningless.

Here, are some other living water resources from the word of Jesus…..

But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too. If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile, carry it two miles. Give to those who ask, and don’t turn away from those who want to borrow.

Teaching about Love for Enemies

“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Bless who cursed you Pray for those who persecute you!  In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven.

So clean your inner self by giving gifts to the poor and doing God’s will and you will be clean all over.  Luke: 11.41- giving to the poor

Love for Enemies

“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do well to those who hate you.  Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.  If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also.  Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back.  Do to others as you would like them to do to you.”

“If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them!  And if you do well only to those who do well to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much!  And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return.

“Love your enemies! Do well to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked.  You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.

Do Not Judge Others

“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.  Give and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”

Inviting the POOR for various celebration

Then he turned to his host. “When you put on a luncheon or a banquet,” he said, “don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward.  Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.  Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you (Luck: 14:13-14)

 

Difficult of Rich ENTER THE HEAVEN

The man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.”  When Jesus heard his answer, he said, “There is still one thing you haven’t done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor ,  and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very rich. Luke; 18:22-24

See here, Jesus did not ask him to provide financial support for His ministry, although he was in need of it. However, His father was a poor righteous Carpenter and his mother is now poor widow and all his twelve discipline were unemployed as they resign their jobs, some of them were poor fisherman who left their fishing job.

However Jesus did not have money to pay His tax, He was in such a critical situation.

Is the living water…

But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.  Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will be rewarded, and forgive those who sin against you.

“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.  But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. What is the next result! you are quite enough to go to hell!

So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor and you will be clean all over. (Luke: 11.41)

LIVING WATER FROM PAUL

Paul’s Thanksgiving and Prayer

I always thank my God when I pray for you, Philemon, because I keep hearing about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all of God’s people.  And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ.  Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God’s people.

Paul’s Appeal for Onesimus

That is why I am boldly asking a favor of you. I could demand it in the name of Christ

Because it is the right thing for you can do.  But because of our love, I prefer simply to ask you.

Consider this as a request from me—Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus!  Is the love of living water flowing from the inside of his heart!

Now a day’s many Pastors scary for tithes in the name of Jesus even from the poor believer.

Hence, if any one give anything to the Lord without willing is unaccountable in the heaven .We cannot repay the same to him any cost. We have to earn the people to Lord is to be .Weather the people giving or not Jesus never stop his ministry and He don’t’ care about what other may think but, His aim ONE AND ONLY is His father. That’s all. If anybody giving or not is not a problem. We can do my ministry as much possible with our own money which is given by our Lord..  And also how many members are in my church is not a matter. How many of them going to reach the heaven is our target. We don’t want to miss even one person left out.

Tithes

You much each makeup your own minds to how much you should give. Don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure.. (Is the dead ward)  For God loves the person who give cheerfully. Now a day’s many Pastors scary us regarding tithes   in the name of Jesus even from the poor believer they do so. Money is necessary to serve the people in ministry but, it is for the people. Without LOVE WE CAN GIVE BUT, WITHOUT GIVING WE CAN’T LOVE. Giving without willing is LIKE killing God’s love. Getting anything without their willing is the sin against the God’s WILL. There is no account for the above in the heaven which we cannot repay. Jesus never expect anything from anybody and He did not complaint against anyone all throughout the Scriptures, to his father. Jesus never bothered weather people gave Him  Financial help or not and never complaint to anybody or anything’s even to our father in his whole life and HE NEVER OFFEND, He never stop His ministry and He never care about  anyone’s opinion. His one and only target was His heavenly Father. How many of them can reached the heaven in our congregations is most important than merely number?

Here is the appeal of Bro. Paul greatest Apostle who written Maximum book in the New Testament is the sample of living waters. !…..

I appeal to you to show kindness to my child, Onesimus.  I became his father in the faith while here in prison.  Onesimus hasn’t been of much use to you in the past, but now he is very useful to both of us.  I am sending him back to you, and with him come my own heart.

I wanted to keep him here with me while I am in these chains for preaching the Good News, and he would have helped me on your behalf.  But I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I wanted you to help because you were willing, not because you were forced.  It seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever.  He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.

So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me.  If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me.  I, PAUL, WRITE THIS WITH MY OWN HAND: I WILL REPAY IT. AND I WON’T MENTION THAT YOU OWE ME YOUR VERY SOUL!

Does the mark of God fear servant of Lord .We must have this attitude to show the love of Gods’! Is the living water…

Paul have an account with Co believer and wanted to settle the account, to his co-workers honestly God wants’ the honest person truthful even in the little (Pelomon:1:18-19)

Bless others and you will be blessed..

Forgive others and you will be forgiven…

Give and it will be given unto you…

Be merciful and you will be receive mercy…

Acknowledge Every second for our Gods’ blessing after receiving by giving thanks..always…

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring. They shall spring up like grass amid waters, like willows by flowing streams.” (Isaiah 44:3-4 )

 

God choose Lucifer and thought him to be the perfect-righteous. Lucifer became Satan by his own choice. Lucifer and all of the millions of angels had the power of choice – to either obey, or to rebel. However, now it is in our hands either to obey or to be against the Lord. Most choose to obey God, while some followed Satan’s rebellion and have become hopelessly corrupt.

My dear brother and sister, if anyone among you wander away from truth and is back again

You can be sure that the one who bring that person back will save that sinner from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sin.

Let obey to the word of Holy Spirit to spread GOD’s kingdom.
